Thanks. Is there a particular brand of caps which is considered the
best? From my reading, I should stay away from CapXon (which is what
the Samsung monitor uses).

Looking at my inventory, I've been using Panasonic-ECG, type A, Series
NHG, with 105C temperature ratings. For example, the Digikey part
number for 1000UF/16v is P5533-ND

If you want to avoid the problem entirely, search for Polymer
Capacitors, which don't have any electrolyte. Fujitsu, UCC, and Oscon
make those.

I just tried to fix a Samsung Syncmaster 192N monitor. I replaced 6
assorted CapXon electrolytics but the monitor doesn't work. My ESR
meter is at home so I'll drag the pile home and report on the measured
ESR values. A bit of Googling seems to indicate the CapXon are junk.
